born in Charleston, Mass about the year
1886; That she grew up 10 love children

proven bp her marriage with Boston
widower, by name Isaac Goose, aud father
OF ten boys aud girls. As years passed sir
more chiren were added TO the Goose
family. and 1t is believed that it was about
this period in her lie ihat she wrote the
famous story in rhyme q
The cid woman who lived 10 q shoe,
And had 40 many children she didn't know
what TO do.
With all her cares Mother Goose never
lost her interest 10 little people When
her own children were grown she went 70
live with a married daughter, that she
might be In the midst oi the grandchildren

part Of some OF the hands. His wife -

and was stored for four years. At length
East consigned it 10 his London CORES
iDndeut with Instructions TO sell IL for

a considerable advance in price. Judge

been and are engaged in
getting ready. in planting stakes
for second term to be obtained upon
promises of great things, and in lodging
any and every issue that will subject
them to the disastrous criticisms of the
republicans. The republicans are en-
gagged in increasing the strength and per-
fecting the organization of the party, in
carefully watching the dominant party,
and in guarding the interests of the peo-
pie, ready to assist in any beneficial meas
ures which the democrats may propose.
The power of the republican party is in
creasing for the adoption of republican
principles and policies by the democrats
is recommending the republican party to
the people. Thus assisted, it becomes
the duty of the republicans to put forth
greater efforts for the party. The work
which suggests itself to them is the better
adaptation of those principles and policies
and the defining more sharply the great
election. The republican conventions of
the several States to hold elections this
year have in the platforms adopted,
marked in a rough way the course to be
followed. The work thus begun should be
followed by thorough discussion OF the
subjects that must be considered. In no
better way can this be done than by the
formation of republican clubs all over the
country. This plan has already been put
in operation and as will be noticed
in the circular printed, large num-
Der of these clubs have been formed. To
complete the programme it is the purpose
to call general convention of the dele
gates of local clubs, by which the position
of the party on the principal issues to be
involved in the next campaign is to be
indicated by series OF resolutions en-
bracing the views and ideas of the party
upon the great issues. The initiative step
has not been taken too early. The de-
moraization of the democratic party and
its utter destitution of all that is necessary
for the approaching duel Except the con-
troll of the government patronage) empha-
sizes the opportunity of the republican
party. The incentives to labor were never
more potent. The loss of power Is even
an advantage to the party. Its interest in
the welfare of the nation. is, however, the
greatest cause for the enthusiasm which is
sure to pervade its ranks as it enters upon
the work before it. That work is to be
done and will be done. Every legiti-
mate means and method will be employed,
and with continued and Jealous effort
such as is being inaugurated this year, the
successor of President Cleveland will be a
republican. The watchword of every re-
publican should now be-to the work.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flour has done won
derful work in reforming this sad business
and making the American people so healthy
that they can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without health
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for bottle. Seventy-fve cents.

A Big Mistake.

The moulting season, or the season when
hens shed their feathers, will soon be at an
end. The process is one thst in certain re-
spects debilitates and prevents hens from lay
ing. The reason of this is that the growing
of new feathers requires all the nitrogen and
phoephates contained in the food and there is
none left to form the egg. A curious fact
about the hen. and one that illustrates the
foregoing statement, is this, il hens leg be
broken during the laying season, che will lay
her eggs without shells until the break is
mended. The reason for this must be that
all the lime contained in the food is required
to unite the broken bone; there is therefore.
none for the formation of egg shells. The
formation of new feathers does not require
any corbonaceous or fat producing food, con-
sequently well fed hens get very fat during
the mouting. Many farmers and poultry
raisers, not understanding all about these
things, kill of their old hens because they
think they have stopped laying and are fat.
This is great mistake, because if the proper
material be furnished them with their food to
supply the increased demand for nitrogen
and phosphates before mentioned, the old
hens will be. through shedding feathers much
sooner, and will begin laying on the approach
of cold weather, and they will continue to
lay vigorously all winter, while the young
pullets, reserved to take the place of the old
hens, may not begin to lay until much later
in the season. Very many people have
learned from experience that Sheridans
Condition Powder, mixed once daily with
their food, will supply the extra material
needed to strengthen and invigorate their
hens, enabling them to grow new plumage
quickly and commence laying early. Those
who commence now to use Sherdan's Pow
der, will find their young pullets will COM
mence to lay at from four to six months old,
and will lay continuously through the winter.
The Farmers Poultry Raising Guide, pub
lished by l. S. johnson & Co., at % Custom
house street, Boston, at 20 cents, contains a
vast amount of information on this subject.
johnson & Co. will send post paid, two %
cent packs of powder and one Guide for 60
cents, or a 2 4 ID. can of the powder post
age or express prepaid, for Sl.20, and guide
